 ashleystar says: very interesting. Its hard for me to feel empathy when the image I so vivdly remember was that of people in the middle east dancing, cheering and passing out candy on (9/11/2001). And I know it happened cause I still have the recordings of it on my tapes I made that day. Even though the networks quickly tried to suppress that, it was too late, we had seen the faces (and countries) of our enemies. It's important not to let the actions or words of a few speak for everyone. Especially when you're talking about parts of the world where people are not free to speak against their government or in favor of the U.S. you taped the cheering of middle easterns in response? i believe everyone is aware of that *most* middle easterners were pleased, taping to validate your contrarian opinions is a bit much. this is to show that there are exceptions. No, I taped EVERYTHING I could all day that day (and most of the next). I had a pile of tapes and I wanted to archive the events as reported by our so-called media experts. So I just set all 3 of my VCR's to record, and changed channels every 3 hours. I probably have a better collection than most of the things that transpired that day/week. I didn't selectively choose 'what' I wanted to record, I got it ALL. I also saved newspapers/magazines as well. Oh, BTW- "taping to validate your contrarian opinions is a bit much." You assuming this is what I did, was a bit much. Its hard for me to feel empathy when the image I so vivdly remember was that of people in the middle east dancing, cheering and passing out candy on (9/11/2001).Just because some cheered doesn't mean all did. True. But it's important to remember WHERE the cheering and celebrations were taking place. 9/11... never forget so vivdly remember was that of people in the middle east dancing it's important to remember WHERE the cheering and celebrations were taking place.Napster, you know what Iranians feel when you consider them middle east, connotation: Arab? Good point. That was a very general statement on my part. The actual 'Middle East' location and countries that collectively make up that term are debated by many. Just as the 'Americas' includes Canada and many South American contries, but not to everyone. Thanks for pointing that out. i don't think anyone will forget 911. hence, the clip. get it? I think the Iranian people are probably great. I also know many of them do not like their government. Unfortunately the powers that be in that country have a bad habit of 'denying the truth' (like the holocaust never happened). That being said, 9/11 could just as easily be buried as fiction by the same people. Its hard for me to feel empathy when the image I so vivdly remember was that of people in the middle east dancing, cheering and passing out candy on (9/11/2001).A very important correction: Those images, people cheering on the streets, laughing, chanting etc. were NOT recorded after 9/11. Those were footage from a Muslim feast & celebration on the streets of Cairo and some Palestinian towns, shot months before 9/11. Unfortunately, CNN used these footages on the background, while giving the news about reactions to 9/11 in the Muslim world, as if the news bulletin and the footage was somewhat related. This was a horrible and very irresponsible media approach and though... Thanks for this important correction, invictus. Though I recall these corrections made a while ago, it almost skipped my mind later. Accepting everything as is from American media is dangerous at best, and info coming out of unknown websites is no different. This also makes me question so many consistent information coming out of Iran about their moral police apprehending people left and right on fashion, kissing etc. I have my doubts out on all of these stories as well. |
